It’s been 4 months since secrettourhk became our full-time career. We are giving a pause and feeling deeper what has happened and what we hoped it will happen next.

It was a grateful experience since we started everything from zero. Tourism has been a big thing in Hong Kong for a long time. Yet, we are not exactly doing ‘tourism’, but a new breed of industry that lies between tourism, culture, education, entertainment, idea exchange, media… sometimes we are confused. However, we are clear that it is something unprecedented and experimental. And it is secrettourhk. It happened without any guidelines and rules… Sometimes it does make us feel difficult: Without any examples for us to follow, without previous experience shared, without any case reference, we are lost at times and feeling uncertain if things will work well. Sometimes it does feel easy, cuz we are the boss and we have the say without the need to follow any orders or conventional opinions.

Courageous is the most used words when people are trying to describe us for the past months. Yes, I was courageous when I handed my resignation letter. But when I have really quitted and left my old job, it is pretty natural. Sometimes I think that all human should live like this: simply focus on things that they believe, excel in it. Let yourself work without counting how much we should be paid for having this piece of work done, but cherishing the process when we are working on it. And having the vision/faith that finishing this piece of work is on step further to the bigger dream in our mind. This is amazing and I am glad that i made the decision to have less salary, less shopping, less fancy food, but a much happier life.

As long as we still believe, we got the energy to carry on.

Very soon, we will put up some brand new tours for you guys to enjoy and experience the less-visible side of Hong Kong. I still believe these are the things that people should treasure. Though, majority of people in the city care less and thus they are disappearing one by one…

I do hope we can make some changes

Nothing compares to all the happy faces in our tours! (photowalk on Feb11, 2012)

Everyday is adventurous to us. There is no guidelines, no boundaries of what you should/should not do. I don’t even know if there are companies providing similar services in Hong Kong or not. Good thing is, whatever we do is pioneering; bad thing is, we may need to do a lot of trial by error.

Our first ever tour – Photo-walk is fully-booked within 20 hours since announcement;

Kung Hei Fat Choi! In this year of Dragon, secrettourhk is taking a big leap forward. Hopefully will bring in more tours for all of you guys.

We have been away for awhile… But, we are now back with an awesome photowalk tour for our fellow friends!

Do you travel with a camera? I guess almost everyone does! However, are you tired of taking pictures in front of standardized tourist spots like the Big Budda, the Victoria Harbour, and the Peak? Photowalk is for you to explore more new angles!

In this Photowalk Tour, the path mainly covers Eastern Kowloon around To Kwa Wan, Kowloon City, and San Po Kong. We have invited Nick Poon (www.flickr.com/liver1223) , a renowned photographer on Flickr, to share his works and tips about shooting documentary type of street photos along the tour. At the end of the trip, we will share the best shots of everyone and you can print it as postcard and send back to your home!

secrettourhk is a newly-born creative project. We offer backpackers FREE and UNCOMMON city tour at HK, but you gotta share with us a secret at the end of journey. We are going to publish the secrets in creative forms anonymously!

We were drinking white wine, talking about how GREAT it was when we were doing exchange in Europe. After sharing some of our stories, we realized what we impressed most in a trip are not the churches, the museums, or whatever sculptures. The most impressive thing of a trip is the PEOPLE! Human interactions are memorable, spiritual, and inspirational. Some expressions, some phrases, some laughter, some confessions could just make up the best travel journal of your own. We have had a great travel journal in Europe, and we do hope that you can have yours in Hong Kong! Therefore, we came up with the idea of being a ……….
